STOCKTON – A man is in critical condition following a shooting reported to police at 9:24 a.m. today, police reported.

The shooting took place in the 300 block of East Sonora Street between Sutter and San Joaquin streets, south of the Crosstown Freeway.

A person who drove the victim to an area hospital reported the location to police, who first believed the location was farther north in the busy downtown area near the San Joaquin County Courthouse and the Human Services Building. Officers descended on that area, alarming onlookers unaware of what had occurred.

Police are investigating and looking for a suspect at this time, according to department spokesman Officer Joe Silva.
